What can I say about this family? Mom is my oldest friend - going back to when we were teeny tiny. We lived just a few blocks from each other growing up, and now live two blocks from each other in a completely different town. Though our oldest babies are just 3 years old, they are growing up together much like we did and our little ones are following suit. It is truly a gift to be able to capture my best friend's babies and stop time just for a bit. It doesn't hurt that they are pretty much picture perfect :) Love you guys!!

The good thing about the Winter is that most photographers get some "down" time. Outdoor sessions aren't really taking place (at least not in the North East!) and there just doesn't seem to be as many babies being born, so the newborn sessions are slow also. I am trying to bask in this down time and enjoy being with my family. I feel like every time I blink my eyes, my sons are growing, and it seems to be going faster by the day. Somehow my baby is already 9 months and my big boy is working on 3... I'm not exactly sure when that happened! Sometimes life gets so busy that the days go by and you don't know where they went. My boys will never be this age again and this down time is giving me a chance to stop what I am doing and just capture the here and now...

Two years ago today, my life changed forever when my sweet Jack was born. Over the past 24 months, Jack has developed into the sweetest, most funny, rebellious, stubborn, athletic and loving little boy. He has taught me so much in such a short time, and allowed me to feel the deepest love I have ever known. Anyone who knows Jack, knows that he has a HUGE heart. He will be the first one to give you a hug and kiss... and then proceed to steal your shoes.

We spent Saturday celebrating my nephew, Dylan's, first birthday. It always amazes me how quickly time goes by. It seems like just yesterday I was holding Dylan in the hospital, on the day he was born. Then, photographing him at 3 months old. And now, celebrating his 1st birthday! Tear.

Daryl and I are overjoyed to announce the arrival of our second baby boy.  Henry Lawrence Bryant was born on Wednesday, April 24th at 9am weighing 7 lbs 3 oz and 20.5" long. He is as sweet as can be and we are adjusting well to being a family of four! Jack is equally as excited to have him as a part of our family.

My family and I took a ride to Branch Brook Park in Newark this weekend to check out the cherry blossoms which are finally in bloom!  It was a beautiful although chilly day, but we enjoyed watching Jack run around and have fun.

This past weekend my family and I participated in the National MS Society's Walk MS in Roxbury. As many of you know, my husband Daryl has been living with MS for the past ten years and in 2011 wrote a book, MS - Living Symptom Free, detailing his experience with the disease. So obviously this walk hits close to home and was very special for us to attend and be a part of. Daryl was even named the 2013 NJ Walk MS Ambassador by the National MS Society.

Hi, friends!

Jack is taking a Splash Class at our gym. Daryl takes him every Saturday morning and they have some male bonding time as we get Jack used to the pool and being in the water. He used to be very timid in the pool but is finally coming out of his shell (just in time for the warm weather!).

I had so much fun photographing my newest baby nephew, Dylan, for his 3 month birthday. Don't let his expressions fool you - he is so sweet, lovable, and easy going so the session was a breeze! And any time I get to photograph someone I love is extra special.  Happy 3 months, Dylan!
